    Does anyone know of a good alternative to the old version of Bloomberg.com? I don't have a 'paid' quote service as I'm not trading actively (I'm a hedge fund investor).

    I hate the new version. I'm looking to see the movements of the major markets in semi-real time, currencies, pre-market movements in metals, futures, etc., major commodities, etc.

    Any suggestions on a similar site that has a lot of data on it's home page?

    Please advise and thanks!

    Most everybody does. Fortunately, you can still use the old version:

    Yes, the old "old" version of Bloomberg is gone. You can still get a version with somewhat of a black backdrop, but it is still the new Bloomberg.
     
  5. Click 'Go to the old version of Bloomberg.com' at the lower left corner... As to pre-open futures, http://CME.com is convenient.

    Go ahead, click on the link. It's not what you think or are used to.

    Works for me. Maybe because the very first day they switched to that ugly orange thing I figured out how to Noir it.

    Or perhaps because I'm using Firefox.
